[mr.thrifty]

All these pics are looking great folks. sadly I still have a few more days to go...

Any word on Fatburn yet????

 

[Devil_666]

He's still fat.

FYI, if anyone is still looking for one fpnyc.com has him for sale at $159.99 right now.

And I just ordered mine a week ago. I guess I should have held out a little longer?!

How is fpnyc's customer service? I may get mine there if they still have some by monday.

 

[Boba Ben]

Really good from my experience. I got my HT Blade from them and it was extremely well packed in a large box and also inside the HT shipper. They gave me some free stuff as well.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

Is the price at fpnyc just for the weekend?

Just ordered the berserker at forbidden planet usa. $170 shipped. That's what this should have cost in the first place. Now I'll just wait for the Sideshow Yoda and Hot Toys Bruce Lee to come out this month hopefully.

If anyone cares, gohastings has this up for $189.99 with a 20% discount today only. About $163 shipped.

Agreed

A beautiful figure he is, but the price wasn't even remotely justified. There's so much less to him in terms of individual pieces, accessories, features etc compared to Hot Toys past Predators, and yet he cost me $20 more than classic and $60 more than Predator 2 a few years ago.

But he is massive, and visually makes the older figures look quite toyish by comparison. My only two real gripes (shrunken head aside) is that the finish of the armor is rather plain (he looks very flat brown outside of sunlight) and the tips of the dreads are more of a faded orange than red. I guess if I had a third complaint it'd be that the application of the paint on the torso leaves something to be desired in spots; there's chips and missing spots that makes it look a little rushed. Even still, it's way ahead of the paint on their past predators.

My favorite little touches are the real quills on the head, the actual metallic blades, and the look and feel of the little leather straps that hold the armor on. Those three things for me really elevate the look of the figure.

...are you serious? Hmm, maybe I should wait for them to get the T1 T-800 .

That's a heck of a good price. Anyone on the fence should jump at this. I would.

My BBTS Berserker comes monday. I'm quite excited. Now i'll be able to complete my new shelf set up.

 

[JQuest64]

Thanks for the GoHastings heads up robbiethepainter , my order had just canceled and came here to see if anyone knew where they were in stock.

Mine came from BBTS on Thursday with a faulty light and leg that very quickly snapped off (I found glue inside the joint of all places). I'm hoping for a replacement. I putzed with the light for awhile, and even got a brand new battery for it. Bummer, so much fail.

I hope that you had better luck than I did, and that the fig is stellar for you. BBTS has never let me down before this, so I have faith in them to help sort out my berserker mess. Let me know how it goes for you.

I have never purchased from gohastings before but it seems they charge sales tax so the berserker comes to about 177 for me. guess I'm used to Redford where the price perhaps includes tax?! Still $177 shipped is below retail

Damn that stinks. I hope all works out for you. I've actually heard that the light does't work on some of them. If thats the case with mine its no big deal but a broken leg is definately a big deal. I'll let you know.

BBTS will take care of you. Just let them know the situation. I had a $500 statue with paint flaking off a year or so ago. They gave me a complete refund and paid my return shipping. So they lost money on that deal, just to keep me happy.

 

[rory]

That's good to hear. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to try and hold onto this figure. As dynamite as it is, there are other figs I'd like which may not be as prone to these issues.

i have the same problem with mine // just from bending the elbow , the paint has started to rub off so you are not alone

Given all of the spotty paint in the red parts of the torso, I don't know how you guys can get so worked up over a little scratched paint at the elbow. It's no worse than all of the paint defects the figure has elsewhere right out of the box, you know?
